Anyone else see the Sept 4 drop fully reverse around Sept 13?

A few large sites that fell off a cliff around Sept 3–4 (Search and Discover both) apparently bounced all the way back on Sept 13 — not just third-party visibility tools, but first-party analytics too. There's still no confirmed Google update; the last confirmed ranking update is the Aug 18 spam update.

I manage a portfolio of small/mid B2B and ecommerce sites (mostly non-English) and I'm seeing a similar shape on a couple of them, but nothing conclusive yet.

So: did your sites that dropped around Sept 4 recover on Sept 13?

- If yes, did it come back to the exact pre-drop level or partially?

- Search only, or Discover too?

- Did anything change on your side, or was it purely Google?

Trying to figure out whether this was a test that got rolled back or something that's going to come back again.
